Son of Carlos. Can you guess what instrument he plays? Not sure where to put him, but here I am. Has been penetrating the Latin market with previous work. Yet to see where this goes. A poppy feel with jazz/funk/electronic undertones. Even hip-hop. I do like the horns, when used. Some of that vocoder crap I can't stand. Some tracks geared for the dance floor no doubt. Given some airplay, I can see this taking off.

Lesley burst on the scene at age 16 in 1963 with It's My Party, with this much merited hits collection a mere 2 years later. That very first hit went to #1. I was glad to hear her get revenge with Judy's Turn To Cry. None of these boy love songs hold true now, as Lesley came out of the closet some years ago. Her early hits were produced by none other than the legendary Quincy Jones. Although her career fizzled out as fast as it started, she certainly had an impact on the girl group sound of that era, one of the few that Phil Spector had no involvement with. She still recorded for some years after this, but never got that flame lit again.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Hey Now
Best Track - You Don't Own Me
You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys
And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display, 'cause
You don't own me, don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay
Oh, I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
A-a-a-nd don't tell me what to do
Oh-h-h-h don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
I don't tell you what to say
Oh-h-h-h don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want

Where to stick this? I don't know. Christian rap/rock. So here it is. First in the group DC Talk which I remember one of my daughters liking. This is his fourth solo album and it wasn't as bad as I expected, barely making the like category. First single of City On Our Knees has been out for a while, made #1 on the christian charts and is pretty good for me. Second anf third singles of Showstopper and Get Back Up.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Loud n Clear
Best Track - City On Our Knees
If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonightâs the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
Itâs all up tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonightâs the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
Itâs all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh
Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight could last forever
Ooh
Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
As family
Weâre family
Oh Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Ya, you and me
Tonightâs the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
Cuz its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now

I guess these guys were pretty big at the time, more so in the U.K. I think. Formed in London in 1979 they had some hits and this is their fourth album, the follow up to their biggest seller, True. This one didn't fare as well, although the single of Only When You leave did reach #4 in the U.K. but only made it to #34 in the states. Didn't care for it at all. I'll Fly For You was also a single and made it to #9 in the U.K. and was slightly better for me. The album reached #50 in the U.S. The group split in 1989, but I heard they have recently reformed. Must be broke.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Highly Strung
Best Track - With The Pride
Just leave me with the pride
that I worked for
now they've taken the reason away
just leave me with the pride
that I worked for
today
build on rock, or build on sand,
they're never gonna lend a hand
so nothing grows or nothing stands
I can't take any more
I can't take any more
there's not a lot of space for me
but I've still got my dignity
I've got my price
don't say I'm free
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
but I'm hungry
I could eat anything
but I'm hungry
oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing
and all that I hear are the words that she sings
now they've taken it all
now they've taken it all
I'd rather take this cure for life
than make myself a sacrifice
if living is to pay the price
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
it takes a while to understand
when your eyes are full of sand
when only time is in your hands
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
but I'm hungry
I could eat anything
but I'm hungry
oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing
and all that I hear are the words that she sings
now they've taken it all
now they've taken it all
just leave me with the pride
taht i worked for
now they've taken the reason away
just leave me with the pride
that i worked for
today.

Victoria Christina Hesketh, stage name Little Boots, Britians next pop star. She hopes so anyway. Debut album, which came out last June over there, but just coming out in the states. Claims influences to be Britney Spears and, are you ready, Pink Floyd. I couldn't find the Floyd in any of this, but quite a bit of Britney. I guess the next album will be the Floyd. This one reached #5 in the U.K. with singles of New In Town and Remedy.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Meddle (that's just blasphemy)
Best Track - Ghost
Withdraw into your other world
I'm speaking but you do not hear a word
Glaze over colder than a make
Frozen by your dispenses of late
It's clear, as glass, you smash
My operations melt before your eyes
My skull, is full, of dreams
And nothings as it seems in the black air under the trees
Do you even know that I'm here
I might aswell be a ghost
It's true you walk right through me
Look in the mirror and you, you see nothing but yourself
It's true I see right through you
It's true you walk right through me
It's true I see right through you
Blank pages surrounding your eyes
Overthrow the colours of your mind
Science has always been a lie
I can see you shiver in my fire
I'm falling like a snowflake
Catch me quick, before I dissappear
I'm fading like the sun
As soon as I'm gone everything will come undone
Do you even know that I'm here
I might aswell be a ghost
It's true you walk right through me
Look in the mirror and you, you see nothing but yourself
It's true I see right through you
Even though that I'm here
I might aswell be a ghost
Its true you walk right through me
Look in the mirror and you, you see nothing but yourself
It's true I see right through you
It's true you walk right through me
It's true I see right through you
It's true you look right through me
It's true I see right through you
It's true you walk right through me
It's true I see right through you
It's true you walk right through me
It's true I see right through you

Tim's parents on the album cover. Novelty act of course and yet he could play it serious also. After the success of Tiptoe Through The Tulips, how could he follow that up? Not very well is the answer as this album would indicate. Still he went on to a long career of around 15 studio albums and became a household name. Tiny grew up listening to the vaudeville recording of his father such as Rudy Vallee and Al Jolson and carried it to a new level, developing a cult following. His appearance on Laugh In instigated his rise to fame. Tiny tiptoed away in 1996 of a heart attack. For a trip check out that Ed Sullivan performance of Great Balls Of Fire, which cracked the charts at #85. This album doesn't measure up to his debut but is still ok for me.

Not sure what these guys are. Heard of them before but never listened to them. Not stricly disco as the name implies, but a lot of pop/dance material here. Philadelphia club band that has been around since 1995, and this is their 8th album. They have a big enough following to headline their own summer festival called Camp Bisco. Some decent stuff here but overall just misses my radar.
